The first Net Futures Conference, organized by the European Comission in Brussels on 25 and 26 March has been a great success. Over 1000 attendees gathered to network, share and discuss the European technology and policy making.

The architectural leader explains in the conference’s website how iCity aims to integrate a common technological platform upon which services can be offered to the citizens throughout a iCity Open apps repository.
